Description
This course will take you through the human body in a way that is accessible to all levels, whether new or a seasoned pro. While it uses yoga and yoga postures throughout, the principles can be easily applied to any movement practice.
We will explore the body systems and how they may impact a yoga practice. We will look at how bone, joints, muscle and fascia function and how pathology in these tissues may require us to make changes to practice. We then look at key body regions and how to use those regions well to help support us in postures and breathing. The course then looks at forward folds, back bends and twists, and what our anatomy is doing in these types of postures, and how to modify to make the postures safer and more accessible to all bodies.
In addition to the 7+ hours of video content, there is an additional 75min of external video resources to support the learning here, and take you a bit beyond.
